David Nix | ||
David Nix received his PH.D. in cell and molecular biology from the University of Utah styding intracellular signaling in mammalian systems. He switched to bioinformatics during his post doctural studies at the University of California at Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory where he developed algorithms and software for analyzing tiling microarray chIP-chip data while studying the early transcriptional regulatory network in drosophilia development. At Affymetrix he developed methods for analyzing human transcriptiome tiling microarray datasets and provided genomic analysis expertise for numerous academic collaborations. Dr. Nix joined the Bioinformatics Core as Co-Director in 2006 to assist in the analysis of genomic datasets from tiling microarray and high-throughput next generation sequencing experiments.
